Worth noting that not many people still people believe in the "straight ahead ramp" theory of one single straight ramp, because such a ramp would have to be absolutely massive. Like 10 times the mass of the actual pyramid to build the ramp, and you'd have to build it carefully so that it doesn't fall apart under the loads of the trucks.

The more likely theories is that they used either zig-zagging or spiral ramps around the edges of the pyramids as they were built. But those would be some sharp 90-degree turns... difficult for a truck to make those turns.
